The new Audi 2016 TT is getting a price jump, and now we know just how much of one. The automaker is releasing pricing info on the all-new third-generation model and the entry-level roadster comes with a roughly $2500 price hike.

Audi will offer the TT in three different models at three different price points, outlined in its pricing specs. The TT Coupe will be starting at $42,900, the TT Roadster at $46,400, and the TTS Coupe, which is the top of the line performance model, at $51,900. The TTS will come in a roadster only version. Plus, it will even come in a very limited Launch Edition.

Power wise, the Coupe and the Roadster will be equipped with 2.0-liter TFSI engines that pump out 220 horsepower with 258 pound feet of torque.
